Though its 8 core, isn't 1.6ghz kind of slow? How fast were the CELL cores on the PS3 again?
It was when it was Wii-u only huh? lol
But cpus do not work the same way they did a few years ago. Think of old multi core cpus as a river that forks into 2 smaller slower tributaries with each thread forking the river even more getting smaller and slower.
The new cpus would be like 2 separate rivers running parallel not influencing each others size or speed, but both emptying into the same ocean.
